According to BMD the Registration District for North Petherton, Somerset, is Bridgwater. Having said that, I couldn't find him on BMD anyway. Jan.

Jan, thank you for that I have a John Ingram born Sept quarter 1849 Bridgewater. Maybe that is him. I was looking at wells because the rest of the certificates have been wells but they were centred on Butleigh where he got married and his wife died. I had assumed that N Petherton was also Wells. Thanks. Ann Glos
